Chemical Peels
Reveal a fresher, smoother, more radiant complexion with our range of professional Mesoestetic®, Dermaceutic®, and Dermafit® chemical peels.
These science-backed treatments remove dull, damaged surface layers to brighten, refine, and rejuvenate the skin.
Each peel is carefully selected and customised for your skin type, concerns, and desired results.
Chemical Peel Treatment Overview
Chemical peels use controlled concentrations of active acids to exfoliate the skin, stimulate cell renewal, and improve texture, tone, and luminosity. Depending on the formulation, they target concerns such as pigmentation, uneven tone, acne, congestion, fine lines, and photo-ageing.
At Skinworks, we offer a curated range of medical-grade peels from Mesoestetic®, Dermaceutic®, and Dermafit®, ensuring safe, effective treatment for every skin type. During your consultation, your practitioner will select the ideal peel depth and ingredients for your skin.
Treatments take 30–45 minutes with minimal downtime, and results typically include smoother, clearer, more radiant skin with improved long-term health.
Benefits
Improves skin texture
Chemical peels smooth roughness and refine uneven texture by accelerating controlled exfoliation. Skin appears clearer, softer and more polished over time.
Brightens dull tone
By lifting dead surface cells, peels restore luminosity and improve overall radiance. Skin looks more even, fresh and revitalised.
Reduces pigmentation
Peels target sun damage, post-inflammatory marks and uneven tone. With consistent treatments, unwanted pigmentation gradually softens and blends.
Supports healthier skin function
Chemical peels stimulate renewal and encourage balanced cell turnover. This strengthens the skin barrier and enhances long-term skin clarity.
Best Paired With
Chemical Peels pair beautifully with complementary aesthetic treatments to enhance texture, radiance and overall skin quality.

Microneedling / Bioneedling
Enhances collagen stimulation and improves overall skin texture. When combined with Chemical Peels, microneedling boosts product penetration, accelerates cell turnover, and delivers smoother, brighter, more refined skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my skin peel?
Depending on the peel strength, you may experience mild flaking or several days of visible peeling. This is completely normal and part of the controlled exfoliation process.
Is the treatment painful?
Most clients feel only mild tingling or warmth during the peel. Medium-depth peels may feel more intense for a few minutes, but the sensation is temporary and well-tolerated.
What downtime should I expect?
Superficial peels generally have minimal downtime, while medium peels may cause redness and peeling for a few days. Your therapist will advise based on the peel depth used.
When can I wear makeup again?
Makeup is usually safe to apply after 24–48 hours unless otherwise recommended. Allowing the skin to settle helps maximise treatment results.
How many treatments will I need?
Most clients benefit from a series of 3–6 peels spaced 2–4 weeks apart. Medium-depth corrective peels may require fewer sessions with longer intervals.
What results can I expect?
You can expect brighter, smoother skin with improved tone, clarity and texture. Results continue to improve over the next 2–3 weeks as your skin completes its renewal cycle.
Who is a good candidate for Chemical Peels?
Anyone with dullness, congestion, uneven tone, pigmentation or rough texture can benefit. Your therapist will select the ideal peel based on your skin needs and goals.
Are Chemical Peels safe for all skin types?
Yes — when performed correctly and with the right formulation. Your therapist will choose the safest strength and ingredients for your skin type and Fitzpatrick level.
